Ten teams recognized for groundbreaking solutions to reclaim critical materials. With potential billions of dollars in critical materials lost in discarded electronics each year, the U.S. Department of Energy has announced the first winners of its $4 million E-SCRAP competition, recognizing innovations that transform e-waste into a valuable resource for supply chains and sustainability. First announced in March, DOE saw the immense potential of recovering valuable and...
Scientists enhance next-generation battery manufacturing tech with new carbon nanotube powder. A team led by Joong Tark Han at the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) Nano Hybrid Technology Research Center has developed an improved carbon nanotube (CNT) powder that resolves a problematic tendency for these hollow tubes of rolled-up graphene to clump together and resist thorough mixing with other materials in dry processing. A dry process is a chemical-free...
New Supply Chain Resiliency Initiative aims to break America's reliance on China for minerals essential to transformative technologies. As the Chinese government brandishes its dominance over critical mineral supply chains as a weapon in an escalating trade war with the U.S., the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) is equipping critical minerals suppliers outside of the People's Republic of China (PRC) with a powerful new financing tool aimed at leveling the...
USA Rare Earths produces first batch of critical REE magnets at its Innovations Lab in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Crossing a major milestone on the path to breaking America's reliance on China for an essential component of electric vehicles, wind turbines, robotics and military technologies, USA Rare Earth LLC (USARE) has produced its first batch of rare earth magnets at its Innovations Lab in Oklahoma. "Our new Innovations Lab, which we will finish building out in the coming month...
